Note
Cup anemometers typically have a mechanical offset which is added to
each measurement. A numeric offset is usually encoded in the CRBASIC
program to compensate for the mechanical offset. When this is done, a
measurement will equal the offset only when wind speed is zero; consequently,
additional code is often included to zero the measurement when it equals the
offset so that WindVector () can reject measurements when wind speed is zero.
11.5.2.1 Measured Raw Data
•
S
i
: horizontal wind speed
•
Θ
i
: horizontal wind direction
•
Ue
i
: east-west component of wind
•
Un
i
: north-south component of wind
•
N: number of samples

Input Sample Vectors

In
FIGURE. Input Sample Vectors
(p. 121) the short, head-to-tail vectors are the
input sample vectors described by s
i
and
Θ
i
, the sample speed and direction, or
by Ue
i
and Un
i
, the east and north components of the sample vector. At the end
of data storage interval T, the sum of the sample vectors is described by a vector
of magnitude U and direction
Θ
u. If the input sample interval is t, the number of
samples in data storage interval
T
is
N = T / t
. The mean vector magnitude is
Ū
= U / N
.
